So now, revere the Lord. Serve him honestly and faithfully. Put aside the gods that your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates and in Egypt and serve the Lord. But if it seems wrong in your opinion to serve the Lord, then choose today whom you will serve. Choose the gods whom your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live. But my family and I will serve the Lord. – Joshua 24: 14-15
Dear Heavenly Father,
I come before you now affirming that you are the God that I want to serve. Please help me to cast aside the false gods of my life such as money, pride, prestige, possessions and wasted time. Help me to grow in my understanding of who you are and help me to grow in my faith. Mold me, shape me and help me to grow into the faithful disciple you would have me to be. In Jesus’ holy name I pray, Amen.
